Magic + Makers Universal energy this month: Knight of Wands What we’re bringing to the table: Six of Coins Further advice/assistance: Fluorite Decks: Fountain Tarot, Visions Crystal Oracle Alas, we’re tumbling into a new year and with that comes the onslaught of resolution talk: diet, weight loss, regular exercise, cutting back on sugar, alcohol, social media, time on one’s phone, etc. As we’re all aware, this is the time of year to make it a point to get our shit together, even though we know most resolutions fall to the wayside only weeks into the year. While I’m certainly not a fan of...

Magic + Makers What we need to embrace: Page of Cups, Endurance, Fluorite Decks: Aquarian Tarot, Vessel Oracle, Visions Crystal Oracle Here we are, the last month of this mixed bag of a year.

While it’s tempting to solely align your focus on what you’re wearing this Halloween, or what day trip you’re going to take that will capitalize on getting a glimpse of all the fall colors, there’s still some damn inner-work to be done that...

Magic + Makers What’s still lingering: The Moon What we’re moving into: The Hanged Man Further Advice: Rest Decks: Aquarian Tarot, Vessel Oracle Deck Most episodes of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, frogs and toads, the movie Scream (which I watched with my family followed by episodes of I Love Lucy so I could fall asleep), and my mother not making it home from her nights shifts safely – as a child growing up in Wisconsin, these are the things that kept me awake at night. While taking a walk earlier this evening, I recalled how these childhood...
